the food is grilled evenly on both sides (Fig. 12).
- Oven grill position: pull the upper grilling plate up to its highest position
(1) and then put it in horizontal position (2). The upper grilling plate
must not touch the food (Fig. 13).

Grilling times
At the beginning of this booklet, you nd a food table with ingredients you
can prepare with the grill. The table gives indications of which temperature
to select, how long the food has to be grilled and the appropriate position
of the grill. The time necessary to preheat the appliance is not included in
the indicated grilling time.
The actual grilling time and temperature depend on the type of food that is
prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature and also on your own
taste. See also the indications on the grill.
Tips
- Lightly grease the food to be grilled (instead of the grilling plates) with a
little butter or oil.This prevents excess butter or oil from smoking.
- The grill is unsuitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
- Sausages tend to burst when you grill them. To prevent this, punch a few
holes in them with a fork.
- For the best result, make sure the pieces of meat you use are not too
thick (approx. 1.5cm).
- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat.
- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, rst sear the meat at
a high temperature (setting 5). Then set the temperature control one
position lower and grill the food until it is done.
- If you want to defrost frozen food, put the appliance in the oven grill
position, wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil. Set the temperature
control to setting 1 or 2. The defrosting time depends on the weight of
the food.
Cleaning
Never use abrasive cleaning agents and materials, as this damages the
non-stick coating of the plates.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
